Pair Your Earpiece

To use the Q3 you need to pair it with your phone.

1. Slide the hardware power switch across to turn the Q3 on

and then put the Q3 in your ear.

2. If this is the ﬁ rst time you have used the Q3 it will go straight

8

to pairing mode. The voice prompts will start to talk you

through the pairing process.

For subsequent pairings, click the Command button and

wait for the Q3 to ask you to Say A Command. Then say Pair

Me.

3. Follow the voice prompts to pair the Q3 with your phone. If

requested, the pairing code is 0000 (four zeros).

Note: If your phone prompts you to allow a connection to the

Q3, you must select “YES” or “OK”.

On Android devices a message about

phonebook access may appear in the

notiﬁ cations area at the top of the

screen. This is to allow access to your

contacts so that the Q3 can announce

caller names.

You must swipe your ﬁ nger over this

message and accept the transfer

request. If you miss this step you will

need to:

1. Delete the Q3 pairing from your phone.

transfers to the earpiece.

> Use the Redial or Call Back commands.

Taking Calls

When the phone rings, the Q3 will annouce the caller’s name.*

Wait for the prompt to ask you if you want to take the call, and

then say Answer or Ignore. Or:

> To accept the call click the Command button once.

> To reject the call double click the Command button.

* If your phone supports the Bluetooth Phone Book Access Proﬁ le

(PBAP). If your phone does not support PBAP, or you receive a

call from a number that is not in your phonebook, the Q3 will say

“Incoming Call. Answer or Ignore?”

Note: See the next section for

advice if you wear the Q3 in your left ear.

Wearing the Q3 in your Left Ear?

The Q3 volume controls are set by default for users wearing

the earpiece in their right ear.

If you prefer to wear your earpiece in your left ear, follow these

simple steps to swap the volume orientation so that you can

still push up for volume up and down for volume down:

1. Put the Q3 in your left ear.

2. Hold down the Command button, and push and hold the

volume rocker in the up position. Hold both buttons together

for about 3 seconds.

If you want to switch back, put the Q3 back in your right ear

and repeat this procedure.

Note: If you reset your earpiece, it reverts to the default volume

control orientation (right ear).

Changing the Ear Bud

Your Q3 is supplied with a choice of ear buds in different sizes

so that you can choose the one that ﬁ ts best. If you want to

change the ear bud, remove the attached one by gently lifting it

away from the Q3.

Gently press the replacement ear bud onto the Q3 and push it

ﬁ rmly to secure it in place.

Using 2 Phones (Multipoint)

Up to 2 devices can connect to the earpiece at the same time. If

either phone rings, you can answer it with the earpiece.

Use the Pair Me command to put your Q3 back into pairing

mode to pair another phone. Any currently connected phone

will be disconnected during pairing, so you will need to

reconnect afterwards.

15

Which Phone is Used for Calls?

When you have two phones connected you can always answer

an incoming call from either phone.

If you initiate a call through the earpiece (for example by saying

Phone Commands) then the call takes place on the primary

phone: the one that connected to the earpiece ﬁ rst.

Call Waiting and Conferencing*

If you receive an incoming call while you are already on a call

the Q3 will play a tone to alert you.

To Do This

End the active call and

answer the incoming call

Click the Command button

Keep the active call, reject

the incoming call

Double click the Command

button

Put the active call on hold,

answer the incoming call

Hold the Command button

for about 1 second

16

To Do This

Switch between the active

and held call

Hold the Command button

for about 1 second

Conference the active and

held call

for about 3 seconds

If you are using multipoint you can also use these controls to

switch between calls on both phones.

Note: You can only conference together calls received on the

same phone (although you can have conference calls running

on both phones at the same time).

* To use these features, your phone and network must support

call waiting and call conferencing.

Listening to Audio

The Q3 supports A2DP audio streaming. If your phone supports

the A2DP proﬁ le then simply start playing music or any

other audio (including turn-by-turn directions from a GPS

application on your phone) and it will automatically transfer to

the earpiece.

17

If the phone rings the audio will mute. You can use your voice

to answer or ignore the call. Or:

> Click the Command button to accept the call.

> Double click the Command button to ignore the call.

The audio will resume when the call ends.

If you want to exit A2DP streaming mode to do something else:

> Click the Command button to activate the Q3’s voice control

feature. If you do not say one of the Q3’s voice commands

within a few seconds the music will resume playing; or

> Double click the Command button to activate your phone’s

voice dialing feature (if available).

Reset the Q3

If you are having problems with the Q3, you can reset it and

start again.

Resetting the Q3 will clear all the stored pairing settings, reset

the volume orientation to the default and put the device back

into pairing mode.

18

To reset the Q3:

1. Delete any existing pairing information from your phone

and turn the phone off and back on again to clear the phone

memory.

2. Make sure the Q3 is switched on but not connected to any

phones.

3. Hold down the Command button and Vol + together for

about 5 seconds.

4. The Q3 will announce that it has been reset.

5. Now use the hardware switch to turn the Q3 off and back

on again.

You will now need to pair your phone with the Q3 again.
